Nautilus Red Dot 1x30 QD – this red dot sight for rapid target acquisition

The Vector Optics Nautilus 1x30 is a compact red dot sight that helps you aim quickly and accurately. This robust optic offers the advantage of QD mounting, allowing you to attach or remove it within seconds – ideal if you use multiple replicas or air rifles.

Our opinion on this red dot sight

The Shogun team is impressed by how solid this red dot feels. The aluminium housing weighs only 270 grams, yet feels surprisingly sturdy. The automatic brightness adjustment works excellently – no more hassle with manual adjustments when moving from indoors to outdoors.

Technology and optical performance

With a 1x magnification and 30mm objective lens, this red dot sight provides a clear, undistorted image. The red dot has a size of 3 MOA, meaning the dot is approximately 9 cm at 100 metres – perfect for both rapid target acquisition and precision work. You can choose from 11 brightness levels, adjustable via the external turrets.

The Nautilus operates on a single AAA battery and is fully waterproof. The aluminium housing is resistant to the recoil of .223/5.56 calibre, so for airsoft and air rifles this is more than robust enough. For more technical specifications, please refer to the 'More information' tab.

Mounting and compatibility

This red dot sight is mounted on Picatinny rails – the standard for airsoft replicas and many PCP air rifles. The QD mount ensures secure attachment and broad compatibility with both Picatinny and 22mm Weaver rails. The major advantage of the quick-detach function is that you can swap the red dot between different platforms without tools, while maintaining zero.

The mount is supplied as standard, including flip-up lens covers to protect your lens during transport or storage.

Who is this red dot sight intended for?

The Nautilus is ideal for airsoft players who need to switch quickly between targets, but also for sport shooters with an air rifle who value reliable optics. Thanks to the versatile mounting options, this sight is suitable for use on airsoft replicas, air rifles, and firearms. Whether you are a beginner looking for reliable entry-level optics or an advanced shooter needing a backup sight – this Vector Optics delivers consistent performance.
